How long do these pads last? Will they do the whole car once and more?

Absolutely!

Dylan has a set he's been testing for a long time that he's used/machine washed 18 times and they are still in one piece. The backing is starting to fail on those, but that's great longevity out of a MF polishing pad.

will these pads work with the Griots 6" buffer? Also I sent an email earlier about any other method of sbipping to Hawaii ? I would like to order all of these but $28 seems a bit high for what my total is.

It should finish better. Better abrasives and longer work time will allow a skilled operator to refine the finish better than FMP- which I always thought was a glaring weakness with the previous system.

I'm actually pumped to try the new polishes. Just have to get through what I have first. No sense letting it sit on the shelves.

I think the "skilled operator" is an important distinction . . . I've done a full polish on my car 5 times so I definitely don't consider myself skilled yet.

It's great to see Adam's continuing to improve their products, but the downside is I still have an unused bottle of Machine Super Wax (it's been Machine Super Sealant for how long now, 1.5 years?) collecting dust.
